The object of the lie isnt a big deal. Crowd size, big whoo. The bizarre thing is Trump expecting his followers to believe his obvious lie, what it says about their mentality and intelligence that some do believe it when they can see the opposite with their own eyes, and how some find humor and satisfaction that the POTUS chooses to think enough people are stupid enough to accept his lies.

Bizarre. In a situation in which people of intelligence should be offended that their POTUS thinks them stupid enough to believe his lie, many eat it up and are happy that he is aggravating the media and the left by so obviously lying.

Apparently no one really cares about crowd size, except Trump, and he is the one that should be caring about a million other things instead.

I guess MSNBC didn't get the memo. They were the ones comparing crowd sizes all day.

The first exposure to the WORLD of the new administration, is about this BS. People from China, South Africa or Chile want to hear from the new POTUS and they don't understand what the topic is. Now, this is the new face of USA, not of an individual named Donald Trump. (I really hoped that with the elections behind and after the inauguration the tone will change...).

People will react in different ways:

1. Ignore the lie altogether, and hopefully other lies that follow.
2. Accept it, which makes it easier to accept bigger untruths in the future.
3. Doubt their own perceptions, to the point that they stop paying attention because, oh, well, who can tell the difference, anyway?
4. Realize this administration is full of crap, and hold them accountable for their lies and BS, no matter how trivial they may seem.

Don't think this is trivial. It's actually very important.
It actually is. If the Trump administration will lie about this - something so petty - just imagine the whoppers they will tell when something really bad happens.

It's absolutely Nixonian.

You show yourself to be a fool if you dont know that Trump is the one making all the noise over crowd sizes.

Good grief, what is it with you folks and dealing with reality?

Trump's entire campaign is about not facing reality.

Change is coming so fast that some are just unable to deal with so they yearn to go back to the past, want a president who says he can fix it everything.

I said they're both being petty, but you're being ignorant if you don't think MSNBC didn't help fuel this fire.

Oh, good grief. Fuel what fire?

The crowd was thin. That's the facts, folks.

It rained a little. Is Trump going to argue about that too and insist it was a bright, sunny day?

Trump can be baited with the facts as well as a tweet.
